History
Inaugurated in 1912, the venue was quickly acquired by Max Linder, a pioneer of burlesque cinema.[1]:70
Threatened with closure in the 1980s, the Max Linder was bought by a group of cinephiles with a view to restoration. Rather than subdividing the available space to allow for additional smaller screens (a popular solution at the time), the owners elected to preserve the original theatre and install a curved panoramic screen.[1]:70
The cinema's screen, 18m wide, is one of the largest in Paris.[1]:70
Programming
The Max Linder specialises in spectacular international productions, animations, and retrospectives.[1]:70
